Minutes from the community call
May 10, 2023
Standing topics
- Build
- Main Branch Debian Builds
- Hit a number of build issues this week
- openstack container image build failures encountered due to openstack branch deletion
- Ildiko suggested reaching out on the openstack-discuss mailing list to ask about this and discuss how branches should be managed going forward. Action: ScottL
- These issues are impacting builds on all branches
- stx.6.0 Weekly RC Builds
- Blocked on the openstack branch deletion
- Need to lock on a specific SHA since the branch is no longer
- Build Output: http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/6.0/
- stx.7.0 Weekly RC Builds
- Blocked on the openstack branch deletion
- Need to lock on a specific SHA since the branch is no longer
- Build Output: http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/7.0/

- Build Output: https://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/8.0/
- CENGN Mirror Running Low on Space
- Storage is limited.
- ScottL is investigating what snapshots can be deleted without impacting older builds.
- The distro.os team is also asking for more snapshots which is putting pressure on the storage requirements for mirroring.
- github Mirroring Issue
- Email: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-April/014000.html
- The majority of the mirroring is working now after manually updating the key.
- The correct / longer term solution is to setup our own zuul configuration project for StarlingX and not piggy-back on openstack
- Estimate is about 2wks of work
- Raised in the build project team to determine if there are resources to do this work
- Action: Greg to review the requirements for github mirroring to confirm if it's required for all repos or just a subset to meet k8s conformance requirements.
- Transition from CENGN
- As discussed in the PTG, CENGN will no longer be able to host the StarlingX builds.
- Build team is working on transitioning the builds to WR infrastructure.
- Timing: TBD
- Status: Progressing, but slowly. Have an experimental env setup (not publich yet) and able to run ISO builds, but not containers builds yet.

Open Requests for Help
- Issue w/ pxebooting a second node on StarlingX
- Question raised on the community call (Apr 26) by Kevin

- Status: Open / Greg has some information to share, but isn't sure how to get in touch w/ Kevin
- Build System Setup
- Question was posted on IRC by Kevin
- StarlingX documentation has a lot of outdated information. It took a lot of digging to find the right documentation for setting up a build env with minikube.
- Requested that Kevin open an LP to the doc team and/or send an email to the mailing list w/ more details to the mailing list
- Status: Open / No email sent to the mailing list yet. Unsure if LP was opened.
